TRIP BOAT BACK ON CHELMER

Vic­to­ria, a 48-seater trip-boat which ran on the Chelmer & Black­wa­ter Nav­i­ga­tion for many years, is back in op­er­a­tion. Es­sex Wa­ter­ways (the In­land Wa­ter­ways As­so­ci­a­tion sub­sidiary which runs the nav­i­ga­tion) bought it from its pre­vi­ous own­ers thanks to a £30,000 EU grant.
